Every Sunday Morning
Written & Performed by Jermaine Carr
Intro
[ Guitar riffs]
1 verse
Abuela said there'd be a time to choose between
Whether you'll follow his lead or live a life of sin that will lead to d**h
Sunday we'll be at 10am, Service where we attend
Heard the great stories of a "Jesus of Nazareth"
Floors filled with silhouettes, thrown needles on the steps
Crooks caught on videotape, Juveniles that carry techs
She encourage me to always maintain in a religious sect
Though I'm from the gutter, didn't mean I had to be the next
I knew that' She was right, but I never listened though
I was at the trap playing Nintendo 64
Caught me with a burner, can you tell me what you need this for?
You so far from that n***a that we used to know
Darkest days, Coldest summers
Till shots crucified an acquaintance of my oldest brother
Word to my mother, had to make it out this gutter
Sunday school student turned to a gunner?
Pre Chorus
Never be me
Never be me
Can't nobody say I didn't say how you can win
The only relief is HIM
Chorus
EVERY SUNDAY MORNING
I can hear His calling
Telling me son come back to me!
Cuz you belong to me…
You belong to me…
You belong to me…
With my Blood I'll wash away your sins
Open up your heart and let me in
2 verse
It was early December if I don't fail to remember
Slanging by the bodega till the morning splendor
Sworn as a member my agenda I was down for whatever
To either die as a gangster or live as a youth offender
Who would had ever predicted this weather
Abuela turning on her grave, like I thought you knew better
My uncle prayed for salvation, beg my soul to surrender
Jesus Christ's return is closer than ever
And I, And I
I knew that he was right, I never listened though
I was aiming at the lady screaming from the mini store
Wasn't gonna hurt nobody, tell me what you did it for?
I just need a minute more!
Did I ignore, to mention that the cops were coming
Forget about it dawg just hurry up and grab the money
Let me ask you, don't you find it funny
How God's children turn to Satan's dummies
Pre Chorus
Never be me
Never be me
Can't nobody say I didn't say how you can win
The only relief is HIM
Chorus
EVERY SUNDAY MORNING
I can hear His calling
Telling me son come back to me!
Cuz you belong to me…
You belong to me…
You belong to me
With my Blood I'll wash away your sins
Open up your heart and let me in
Bridge
How can you judge me for
Mistakes I done did before
Was you young and I didn't know
I Didn't know
How can you judge me for
Mistakes I done did before
Was you young and I didn't know
Uh, Uh, Look...
How can you judge me for
Mistakes that I did before
Was you young and I didn't know
I been lost in this pitty world
My feet have been feeling sore
I'll go back to the me before
Uh...
You better believe me though
I not the man y'all used to know
